Scaling up IFAD's experience with decentralized and participatory rural development and poverty reduction in Vietnam
Markanday, Ajay
Over the past decade Vietnam has achieved impressive results with rural poverty reduction interventions using a participatory, community-driven approach. Participatory initiatives started in the early 1990s have been adapted and scaled up through partnerships with the government, donors, and civil society-contributing to the eighth Millennium Development Goal, which calls for stronger international partnerships for development. Community- and demand-driven development projects have been supported by a national focus on poverty reduction and commitment to economic reforms introduced in the mid-1980s, which emphasized shifting to a market economy, strengthening individual and private property rights, and decentralizing decision making and development authority from central authorities to provinces, communes, villages, households, and ultimately individuals-enhancing transparency, governance, and social inclusion. Across Vietnam, the share of people living in poverty fell from 58 percent in 1992 in 29 percent in 2002.
